How to browse through our Bibles:

All Bibles are listed in order of publishing date. For each Bible there is a seperate detailed webpage with many, many more pictures that you can reach by clicking on the title of the Bible or at the 'more details' link at the end of the description.

A note on the quality of our Antique Bibles:

We take great pride in the quality of the Bibles we offer. We cannot replace missing pages or undo water damage and so on, but we do make sure that the binding of the pages as well as the covers is in good (daily) useable condition. Therefore most Bibles go through a restoration process where the spines are cleaned of old failing adhesive and loose pages or broken signatures are restored/replaced. Old spine leather is reinforced or replaced and spine reinforcement is applied with new headbands and the cover hinge is extra re-enforced. Also the cover leather is cleaned and treated and if applicable the clasps are cleaned and restored. This is not just a patch job! This process brings the strength of the book back to its original quality.

In remarkable PRISTINE condition:
American Bible History: A BEAUTIFULLY preserved 1846 Harper
Illuminated Bible. Beautiful decorated and embossed
decorated front and back cover
and 5-band raised spine with the text "Holy Bible" and
showing various beautiful decorations and illustrations.

Dated 1846
with, at foot of title, "entered ... in the year 1843 by Harper and
Brothers". Frontispiece and illuminated title to each Testament.
Table, Index and Concordance at the end. With Apocrypha.

The work was originally announced in 1843, and was issued in 54
numbers of 25ct each. J.A. Adams, the engraver, is credited with
having taken the first electrotype in America from a woodcut. Many
illustrations in this Bible are done this way. Artists were engaged
for more than six years (!) in the preparation of the designs and
engravings included in this Bible, at a cost of over $20,000 (a
small fortune in those days!).

"This Harper publication was a remarkable production in its time and
place, and retains its importance in the annals of American
bookmaking. W.J. Linton, noted wood-engraver and author, knew 'no
other book like this, so good, so perfect in all its undertakes.'
The illustrations are like picturings of history, as are so many of
the old European Biblical paintings and illustrations." [Hill's
catalogue #1161] "Embellished
with sixteen hundred historical engravings" There are a set of original blank family pages for recording births
and deaths in middle of the Bible.
